  1. To remedy, your options are:

    • If your Install type is Install, you can change it to Upgrade.

    • If you are using the Custom install, you can deselect the Prototype Database.

    • If you do not need the Prototype database, you can skip the installation of it on this screen and manually drop the database later.

      Note: Because this is a warning, and not an error, if you understand the consequences you can click the Next button to continue.

  2. In order for the installer to proceed or abort, you must choose one of these radio buttons:

    • Stop installation of all products.

      Choose this option if you want to exit the installer in order to make changes and then rerun the installer at a later time.

    • Stop the installation of this component only.

      Choose this option if you want to skip the installation of the Prototype database and continue running the installer.

  3. Click the OK button to close the error dialog.
